背景不是挺好的么，20之内的都可以申的嘛

啊是么？我觉得我的G和GPA有点拖后腿的嫌疑啊...
而且经历实在普通，类似的人应该一抓一大把吧？

我觉得写essay的过程就是对自己过往发生所有的点滴一个反思的过程，理清自己到底以后想做什么，然后再从以往的工作或者生活经历中找亮点来support。所以侬可以再想想自己的亮点，包括和别人的差异。

是这样说没错啦~~~
不知道15左右的学校有木有希望啊，15以后觉得好难选啊，信息不但少，而且都众说纷纭的

pigman007

15之前的学校不申肯定没希望，申了就有希望，谁能保证你一定不能进TOP 15？

15之后听说UT Austin, Emory, rice都还不错

bigjoe

G的话勉强刚够，需要看申请的整体质量了。Top30应该OK。

我肯定是要申下，但是就看这情况是不是敢多选几所，如果戏不大，可能就在10以内挑一所
15左右2所，剩下的得看保底几所了
如果有戏，考虑10以内两所先申....
但是看着别人的G实在觉得恐怖

主要看20-40吧。。。稳一点。。。

Can definitely get a higher G, given a top 10 under
normally a struggle like this resulted from lack of career drivers
A stronger self-awareness can help you dig them out

can ask several whys in the mirror
why HSBC? why switched to socgen? In what specific functions?
any promotions? why MBA now?
or even a bigger why on finance?
what's your learning when exchanged to Taiwan?
what did you enjoy the most when playing in orchestra?
and why did you run cosmetics business online?
while lastly, why Tuck?

Looking around for a while and you'll realize most applicants have similar backgrounds
while what distinguishes some from others is self-awareness
and their personal connections with social meanings
Find them out, then nothing is impossible

TTK

单纯看分数10-20都有希望啊，duke今年也有收700的。不过那人工作经验时间较长。

TOP20-30比较稳健一些

谢谢楼上这位大神泪目T T
好详细的建议啊~~

关于G的建议我仔细考虑过，
第一我5月底才考到700， 然后T也要8月才考，就算第一次Pass掉T,赶R1也是紧紧张张，再回头去刷G，R1绝对来不及。R2,也非常危险，因为其他例如essay,ps,成绩单之类全部都没弄，我已经一边备考T一边弄各种选校问题，搞不好deadline比较早的essay也要开始写了...

第二我刷了3次才到700（前两次都590，你看我这水平....)真心觉得实在也就是这水平了，实在不想再考...如果非要刷，我估计需要再多一个月去重新熟悉，然后结果不保证...想想觉得赶在R2前弄G划不来，非要刷，等R2之后吧ORZ.....

关于背景
我承认我背景比较大众
但是关于您提到的问题，我觉得都是因为个人的想法而导致的各种行为，而每个阶段都有深刻的感悟（表笑我），所以我觉得还是可以写很多东西进去。因为这个非常个人化，比如换工作这种事情，就算起因一样，那感触也肯定有不同。所以我觉得应该会有不一样的东西出来，这个我还是比较自信。
但是肿么写，挑哪些 Point写，我还在纠结，单纯写出来，会显得很啰嗦且不是每个点都attactive.

另外我也想请教您这边，如果您作为AO，您会觉得哪部分比较有兴趣？
